Perfect Points and the Positioning PIn tutorial, from last years's quilt along, will provide instruction and illustrations for maintaining sharp points and straight diagonal lines within and between blocks.

Part 3 Comes Next Week! The Mystery Quilt 2013: Part 3 will be posted next Monday, March 18th on Quilt with Us and Notions. The mystery of the quilt’s design will be unveiled and quilt along members will discover what they have been making!

I can only do flying gees when I put 2 half-triangles together, which I assume will be okay once I do the math. BUT the pattern tells you to cut all 4 fabrics, but the diagram of the star only shows 3 colors. I'm so confused. Can anyone help us remedial sawthooth quilters?

Link is working now. I need to pull my fabric from stash this afternoon and get cutting...it's tempting to look ahead to part 2 when I haven't even cut nor completed part 1...hoping to get caught up in the next day or so.

So, this is the first time I have every done Flying Geese this way, and I absolutely love it! My blocks came together so quickly. I did mess up on the first one and had to re-cut but after that, it was smooth sailing. I will definitely use this technique again.

I'm really enjoying the mystery quilt and want to thank you especially for giving us the dimensions for every step along the way. I have a better chance of success with the final piecing if I can square up my blocks as I go along. I wish ALL quilt directions gave us this one little detail -- I hate having to figure it out on my own! Thanks again.
